Category:Article statuses

This category is for classifications of article quality. It should not include article tags, like Theory or Attention.

In short, article qualities go as such:

Stubs are for short, terrible articles that need expanding. Stubs are bad. These can either graduate to Complete status--which indicates that though the article is short, it has all the possible knowledge on the subject--or Good status.

Good articles are articles which are too long to be considered mere stubs, but could still be improved. These are usually on meaty subjects like main characters, where the info in the article is obviously longer than a stub, but doesn't contain everything that could be said about the character. Good articles can eventually graduate to Exemplary status.

Exemplary articles are the best articles on the Coppermind. They contain a wealth of information, and are conceivably totally complete with their treatment at hand.

Notable articles are slightly outside of this hierarchy. They are simply a tag which indicates the importance of an article, instead of its actual quality. These should theoretically be promoted to Exemplary status eventually.
